As the Photographer of the Sabine Sea Creature…

I have just learned of this web site, I would like to address some of your questions and reply to some of your comments.
First, the creature was like an eel only because I didn’t see any fins. I know eel’s stay on the bottom but this was no eel. It was not an otter playing in the water, this was a fish that had come to the top of the water and rolled over.

jjames1 said it best. It’s too indisctinct. All speculation. I’m surprised it’s being discussed actually.

The Blobness Monster! I coined it! It’s mine.

Excellent! I like it! I’ll have to document that so you get credit.

Too much distance, too little detail to tell what this is. Though I am jazzed at the idea of a cryptid in my neck of the woods, I just can’t determine if this is worth getting excited over.

My cousin caught a 55-pound alligator snapping turtle a couple years ago in a creek in Houston. They showed the picture to a state biologist who identified it and said he caught one twice that size in Louisiana. They get even bigger than that. I’d think it was a dinosaur if I saw it in the wild, and now I’m not surprised we get so many weird water sightings.

This is a cell phone shot of the picture on his refrigerator door:

Logs and driftwood have been known to float on the surface too. I don’t know a whole lot about photography, but is there any way for someone to enhance this pic somehow? Maybe move in closer and clean it up a little? Is that possible? I just don’t see anything here to warrant getting excited over the way it is now. I won’t discount that this is an animal, but it really is just a nondescipt speck. Not a whole lot of evidence for or against an animate object.

It does look vaguely like an Alligator Gar. They do swim at the surface and snap their heads out of the water, as well as roll. I suppose that could present a serpentine, or eel like appearance. I’m a little skeptical about the alleged length, though.

This is like a good 90% of all the “UFO” photos: WAY too distant to carry any meaning. If you can’t take a good picture, don’t take a picture AT ALL!
